Time to release the sinful comics to the world!Come join us at Debaser Medis in Stockholm on the 26th of April at 17:00-20:00.

The third and highly awaited volume of Swedish Comic Sin is here! A fantastic book with 9 hot erotic stories, longer and more sinful than ever! Let us give you a threesome in the woods, foreplay roleplay, sexy dresses and intimate situations... In the book that is. Come get your own copy signed by the talented artists!

This release party is also a collaboration with the Boy's Love anthology GUYS, a comic anthology filled with male-on-male intimacy! The artists of this anthology will also be there, ready to sign and greet all attendees!

1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?

I have been an active comic artist since I was 10, if we consider doing comics in religion class as being an active comic artist - Though on serious term, I guess you can consider me active since 2010, where I was published for the first time in the danish comic magazine, Comic Party. Since then I have been working on my adventure/drama/humor comic, Wasp & Lockbell, for the same magazine. In 2011, I was accepted into Serieskolan in Malmö, and migrated to Sweden the same year!

2. Why did you want to participate in this project?

I've heard about SCS before, and I thought it would be a fun project to work on! I also see it as a sort of challenge, since this will be my first break into the adult comic scene.

3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?

Can't say I have - which is strange, considering that I've been watching porn since the age of 14...

4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?

Making something in time - I re-entered the project very late, and my way of working is very mysterious, so time has been a bit of a struggle...

5. What has been the most fun part?

Drawing the characters reactions towards another - specially their faces! My story is really light hearted, so there is a lot of silly faces in there.

6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?

Right now I am having severeal projects in the fire: I am continiuing Wasp & Lockbell AND remaking the first 6 chapters for its english version, getting a new danish studio on its legs and prepairing my applycation for the second year at Serieskolan. If everything goes well, I will be staying in Sweden for another year, and will be able to continiue working on comics, which is all I need, really.

Name: Tinet ElmgrenStory: Her 18th Birthday1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?

I've been drawing and writing for as long as I can remember. When I was little I wanted to write novels ("real books"), but I always ended up drawing pictures with my stories, too, and feeling frustrated with only text, so at some point I just accepted my fate.

I've drawn comics in extreme seriousness since I was 15 and began my epic socialist maritime fantasy comic Driftwood. I've published the almost yearly comics zine "Tunguska" since 2000, featuring Driftwood and various short stories. Eva ♥ Asbesthjärtan, a book collecting my hard boiled action stories about Eva, was published by Epix in 2009.

2. Why did you want to participate in this project?

Her 18th Birthday is a flash-forward from Driftwood. One of the elements in Driftwood is the love story between these two characters. Last summer when I had lyme disease I got this random silly idea for something they would say during their first time together:

But since I don't include much sex at all in my comics, I sadly assumed that I would never get to use that idea. :(

Last year I thought a lot about sex in comics and what interesting reasons there might be to actually do a story centered around sex. Sometimes it seems to me that my own experiences of sex aren't quite reflected in the image of sex that you get in most of popular culture.
Some friends encouraged me to draw sex comics that would reflect my own point of view, and then SCS editor Natalia at one point suggested that maybe I could contribute a story to Swedish Comic Sin.
So, after some fermentation in the back of my head there was a complete short story around that idea from last summer.

3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?

This is really my first comic that's mainly about sex. The heroine of Eva works as a prostitute, and there are some sex scenes in that book, but the focus there is much more on the action and ultraviolence.

4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?

Drawing a toddler.
And I guess it was kind of hard to draw people naked, because I haven't done that too much before. ._.

Also I think I partly failed in my specific mission to present more beautiful and sensual manliness and beautiful and sensual hairiness. The latter because the characters in this story just aren't that hairy - he is partly Asiatic and she is still young. But I should at least have included some armpit shots. :3

5. What has been the most fun part?

Masha the doggie.
It's always fun to spend time with these characters, and it's nice to see them happy together.
Also, it was really nice and relaxing to have a strict and orderly submission schedule.
And it was really great to get feedback from my fellow artists and our editor!

6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?

I've actually finished Driftwood now, after working on it on and off for 16 years. It's going to be published as a big fat book in Swedish now at the end of April, and this summer in English.
After that I have plans for a shorter book with a perhaps more realistic, everyday kind of story about people who will be drawn like pigs. Then maybe I will start the longer comic for which Driftwood was only the prequel. :D
